CBS Denver says while the squatters fought hard to stay, the grand jury indictment was returned and they finally gave up the goose and moved out.

“It’s wonderful, great, couldn’t ask for anything more,” the family’s father told the news station, adding that despite some overgrown weeds in the backyard, the home is in good condition.

“They actually did think that they bought the home, so they took really good care of it,” he explained.

The squatters apparently purchased the home from two men who have been charged with racketeering, theft and other crimes in connection to the case. The people who moved in have been charged with trespassing.

Despite the long fight, the father seems to just be happy everything has come to a conclusion.

“Yeah it’s over, it’s over, I can sleep at night,” he said.

And in his own home — imagine that.
